JESUS, SON OF GOD

"Jesus, Son of God" opens with a direct, engaging question to the congregation: "Do you know that Jesus is the Son of the living God?" This sets a tone of joyful affirmation right from the first measure. Composed by Abraham Uke, the melody is marked Vivace, giving it a lively and confident pace that lifts the spirit and moves the liturgy forward with energy.

The verses transition into a profound declaration of faith, perfectly suited for the Communion rite. As the choir sings about Jesus coming down from heaven and being broken for us, the repeated response "I believe Yes! I believe" echoes the personal assent each communicant makes when approaching the altar. The final verse brings the focus entirely to the Eucharistic banquet, singing of eating and drinking from the cup and receiving His flesh and blood in the Holy Eucharist.

It is a wonderful piece for a choir to lead while the faithful process to receive Communion. The straightforward English lyrics and the bright, rhythmic progression make it easy for the congregation to internalize the mystery they are celebrating, turning a simple choral arrangement into a shared profession of faith.
